How to wrap text in a cell in LibreOffice Calc

An image is worth a thousand words… so I got 2 thousand words (Plus change) right here:

1. Select in the Menu: Format → Cells…

   

2. Select in the Format Cells window: Alignment Tab

   

3. Select Wrap Text Automatically from the Properties section.

   The end result will be something similar to this:

   

Note that, at least up to LibreOffice 4.0, this option only works on cells that I written in after the option is activated. It will not automatically wrap cells created before.¹ See the following image:

The cell above was written before the option was activated. The bottom cell was written after the option was activated.

¹ For those wanting to wrap all of their already existing cells in a spreadsheet, simply execute Ctrl+A, following by Ctrl+C, and finally Ctrl+V.

You can use Format > Cells > Alignment to have a variety of effects including Wrap text automatically.
Use Ctrl+Enter to have more than one line of text per cell if that's what you mean.

Manually

Type control + enter from inside a cell.

Automatically

Seems bugged if you set it before editing the cell: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57519

Setting the 'wrap' from a column or field in the tab 'alignment' works but you need to do this after inserting text.
